A joyous mix of theatre, storytelling, and stand-up comedy.

ShĂ´n started making comic theatre back in the mid '90s.

Since then, he's made over 30 shows that have toured to 250 theatres throughout the UK and to 20 countries worldwide. The Stage describes him as 'Legend of the Edinburgh Festival' and The Guardian say he’s a 'mesmerising personality, consummate storyteller, natural comic and winning performer'.

His work has been translated into 7 languages, and he's won several awards, including BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Scripted Comedy. He has played the Sydney Opera House, the Barbican, the the Royal Court and played in New York City, Vancouver, Toronto, LA, Oslo, Bogotá, Johannesburg and Northampton - I know.

If you haven't seen one of ShĂ´n's shows yet, then you're in for a treat. His shows are poignant, heartwarming, thoughtful and magical works of genius.
